How to make chia pudding

Chia seeds are very nutritious and a source of protein. This breakfast has approximately 12g of protein which, OK, is not a lot, but it is super light, so you can have a second-round if you need that extra amount of protein!

If you are curious, chia seeds were used long ago by Aztecs and Mayans, back in the day. More details of its benefits can be found in this article from Healthline.

Notes

  • Thicker milk, makes it take more time to turn into “pudding” hence also the recommendation of using soy milk, instead of other full fat milks, such as coconut full fat, or oat milk which tend to be ticker
  • Ground cinammon is a great addition! give it a try
  • I suggest that you try it without any sugar, you can add later maple syrup if you feel you need the sweetness!
